Makita DUC405Z 40cm / 16" Twin 18v LXT Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Body Only
The Makita 36v (18v x2) Cordless Brushless Chainsaw, DUC405, features Makita's famous Outer Rotor Brushless Motor powered by two 18v Li- ion batteries (not included). Eliminating the need to mix fuel and 2-stroke oil the saw is also quiet and starts at the press of a button. The saw boasts an impressive no load chain speed of 1,200m/min, variable speed trigger and captive bar nuts suitable for a range of applications.
Automatic chain lubrication, the amount of chain oil can be regulated allowing the user to make adjustments based on whether they are cutting hard or soft wood, and it has a mains power switch with auto power off function which automatically turns off the chainsaw after no activity for 1 minute.

Seems to be reasonably well made, compares well with all the other Makita gear I have. However, it does not perform as well as a petrol or mains powered chain saws. Do not expect to 'wellie' it through a tree trunk. Comparison between a run or a walk in the park - this is definitely a walk. Adequate for the odd small job that does not warrant getting the petrol one out and is too far from a power point.

Carried out cutting of 8" to 12" pine logs and chainsaw performed very well with low noise so not disturbing neighbours.

Hi Mark, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, we value all customer feedback. We're very surprised to hear this as a fully charged 5ah 18v LXT battery usually operates for 45 minutes. If the battery is only lasting 2 minutes it could suggest that a fault may be present. It may also indicate that the work you are carrying out is not suitable for the product. If you would like to discuss matters further, please contact our dedicated customer support team; https://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/contact/
